As an intercessor be open to Christ coming to you, sitting with you to expound upon His Word. Be open to His teaching concerning prayer. Be open to His explaining the deep(er) meaning of some teaching, promise, parable, command, etc. especially as it relates to prayer.

If you are skeptical about this, then you have not yet had the experience, but trust it is possible. Learn to ask Christ each time of prayer to visit with you. To help you understand the ways of prayer more deeply and clearly. To help you grow in intercession. Just like the disciples asked of him; Jesus, teach us to pray (like you)… and He answered their request most immediately with instruction. He will also answer the intercessor who wishes to be more knowledgeable and effectual in prayer. He knows your heart for Himself and for others. He knows your heart for prayer.

The ministry of prayer is a ministry of helps, healing, and encouragement. But it is also a ministry of battle and spiritual warfare and the Savior will give and teach you everything you need to know in order to be a formidable opponent to His chief enemy on earth, namely Satan and his mighty band.

God’s Word is truth. It is living and now. It is a storehouse of treasure for the Intercessor. As Timothy said;

“All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work (3:16).

And the Intercessor who wants to be more like Christ in prayer will find much help there.

(One final note, when you ask Him, come with paper and pen expecting to receive. Asking Jesus for help and not being prepared is like praying for rain and carrying no umbrella when you go out!)
